Toby the Terrier Looking for L❤️VE
 

Just sent you a PM as I think Toby just might be what you and your pup are looking for. See the post under ALL ABOUT PETS tab.

There are 3 Golden Retriever Rescues in mid Florida and they always have dogs. We came to TV for the first time last Fall and fostered for them so I know they are great... just contact them and tell them what you are looking for. You will save a life and find one to love :)

I love Max's Pet Connection! They are local and do everything they can to assure the pet is vetted and ready to be placed in a home.

Mia, I gave links in an earlier post to Joshua's House and GRRMF, but I couldn't remember the name of the third one. Can you post the name and maybe a link?

We have had three rescues over our married years and I find any dog is a loving companion if treated properly.

I know you mentioned a golden, but would be interested in this dog, a yellow lab?

DOUG
DOB/AGE: 7-30-2010
WEIGHT: 85#

Fully trained, house trained, leash trained, knows commands, neutered, up-to-date on shots. He is afraid of storms, though. But you could ask your vet about options to keep him calm such as natural remedies, medication, or a Thunder Shirt. Here is a link to read more about him. South Lake Animal League - Timeline | Facebook Note: if you click on The League's link it will bring up their Facebook page and you need to wait just a little bit (seconds) for Doug's info. to come up.

Bump for Doug the yellow lab
 

Bump for Doug. Hope he finds a forever home very soon!

He looks adorable but we really wanted a smaller dog. Thank you so much for thinking of us.

In that case, I wouldn't advise getting a golden retriever, either. Our two are 76 and 83 lbs. (And they shed 3 lbs. of hair a day.:loco:)

You are probably right. We really want a dog that is slightly older like 6-9 yrs. and under 45 lbs. Once in a while I see a golden mixed that size, but our priorities have changed to look for a mellow older dog any breed.

Good luck to you. I'm sure you'll find the perfect pooch, kaznerm.

We just adopted the sweetest dog ever. Her name is Lexi and she is a 5 year old beagle. She is so mellow that even Murphy seems to like her, and Murphy doesn't like anyone or anything new or different. We're hoping she will bring Murphy out of his grieving after his brother died. Today was a good start. Love, love, love this new little dog.

I remember Lexi being mentioned before. How wonderful that you have given her a home. Good luck to you and Murphy and Lexi!
